Managing a Blended Workforce

Work will never be the same. New research shows that 57% expect to be in the office 10 days or less each month. 98%believe future meetings will include remote participants, and 97% want changes to make the office safer before they return.  

Hybrid work is about adapting to how teams work best.

As a manager, it can be very difficult to manage all these scenarios. That is unless you have a framework in place and can see where challenges may lie before they actually happen. 

This one-day course will look at the most common managerial mistakes made in accommodating a hybrid / blended workforce. We will examine how to overcome new communication challenges, new motivation challenges, trust issues, and other brand new issues that have arisen. We will show you how to adapt to get the best out of your team, and to create environments where everyone is comfortable and clear on what is expected of them. As a manager, the tips and techniques you pick up in this course could prove invaluable.
